I'm reluctantly supporting Kerry. He's not far enough to the left for me, but he's better than Bush. I would support Nader or the Socialist Party USA candidate, but my time is better spent with Kerry this year.

As I dont live in the USA, I cant vote, if I did, as a center right conservative (I live in the UK) I would vote Bush. I quite like Bush, and hope he can get back into office and finnish off Iraq, so they Iraqies can get their country back FULLY.

Things haven't gotten out of hand or anything, but remember to stay civil. Politics can be touchy, and some people have a tendancy to get ugly over these things. Let's keep at heart we're all one, nice, happy community, and if we don't get along, Alex will come with a wet trout and smack you into submission while closing the thread. ;)

I dont know anything about Chile, I wasnt born at the time. However back to Iraq, yes, I agree, it would be a pupet government. For a short period. They have been dictated to for how many years, 23? 24?. They need to learn democracy again, they need to learn how to be independant, they need to learn to be free, free to talk, free to disagree with the govenrment without the fear of being killed, it all takes time, and wont happen overnight, and may never happen if Kerry wins and pulls out of Iraq, leaving another fool like Saddam take over again.

I think you've said everything that I would say, so I will add nothing.

I wasn't alive during the Chile conflict either, but it was essentially when the U.S. took out one leader (who many revered, many hated.) and put in one that was even worse and was nothing but a puppet for the U.S. for 20+ years.

I think the Iraqi government may be ostensibly independent, but with U.S. interests (i.e. Halliburton) dominating the Iraqi economy, the U.S. will have quite a bit of power of the Iraqi administration. The United States has also intimidated quite a few people into not running for office, meerly because they don't always agree with the U.S.
